Introduction
Started by a former RN, Firefly Medical develops transformative patient-care equipment
designed to help improve the lives of patients and caregivers. The IVEA is state of the
art patient equipment management system developed with significant clinician input to
help improve mobility, safety, efficiency and storability by organizing patient equipment
on a mobile platform.
The IVEA is ideal for patients who are ready or nearly ready to ambulate. It holds the
patient's equipment bedside, helping to eliminate set-up time for ambulation and
making it possible for one caregiver to safely ambulate a patient. Easy to use, easy to
maintain and easy to store, the IVEA provides solutions to multiple challenges caregivers
face every day.
This manual provides operating instructions and product information in five main
sections:
1. General Considerations
2. Ambulatory Use
3. Bedside Use
4. Care, Maintenance, and Storage
5. Troubleshooting and Product Information
Every caregiver who uses the IVEA should read this manual and understand the proper
use of the device. We also recommend that caregivers take time to familiarize themselves
with the device and how it operates before they use it with patients.
NOTE: In the text, the term "caregiver" refers to nurses, physical therapists, aides,
transport personnel and any other healthcare professionals who use the IVEA to provide
patient care.
NOTE: Many adjustment points, i.e., buttons and levers, appear in blue in the various
diagrams and photos and are blue on the IVEA itself.
NOTE: Refer to the IVEA Diagram and Legend preceding this introduction for a list of
features.
